Project Description: A statewide map comparing the median home price in every jurisdiction to metropolitan household income. Generally, three to five is considered to be a healthy rate—this interactive map will reveal potentially exclusionary jurisdictions.

Note: the title says rents to income, but the description specifies home price, so I did both. Rents are compared to monthly income.

Home Values to Income

Code
mapview(place_data, zcol = 'home_inc_ratio')

Rents as a percentage of monthly income

Code
mapview(place_data, zcol = 'rent_inc_pct')
